Lords of the Fallen Gets a Quick and Impressive Accomplishment
CI Games has celebrated a remarkable achievement, confirming that their action-RPG, Lords of the Fallen, developed by their in-house studio HEXWORKS, has exceeded the impressive milestone of one million units sold. This significant accomplishment was attained within a mere ten days after the game’s launch on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Lords of the Fallen unfolds within the dark-fantasy realm of Mournstead, introducing a captivating dual-realm mechanic that enables players to seamlessly transition between the harsh, unforgiving world of the living and the nightmarish, otherworldly realm of the dead. Within this unique setting, players undertake an arduous and holy crusade, confronting formidable monsters and demons in their quest to defeat a once-vanquished god.
Marek Tyminski, the CEO of CI Games, expressed his pride in the game’s success, stating, “Lords of the Fallen is the most important and ambitious game we’ve developed in our 20-year history, and the first in our new planned AAA pipeline of games in the years ahead.” He emphasized how humbling it is to witness the innovative action-RPG achieve one million sales in a mere 10 days, underscoring the dedication and hard work of HEXWORKS and CI Games.
Saul Gascon, Head of Studio at HEXWORKS, extended gratitude to the passionate Lords of the Fallen community who have explored the treacherous landscapes of Mournstead. Gascon acknowledged their unwavering support and invaluable feedback, emphasizing that it was the community’s dedication that paved the way for this remarkable achievement.
Since the game’s launch, HEXWORKS has diligently collaborated with partners and the game’s community to enhance the game’s performance. They have introduced a series of patches that not only improve the game’s technical aspects but also introduce new gameplay mechanics. Some of the notable additions include an overhauled New Game Plus mode and, more recently, crossplay between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The community can look forward to even more features as crossplay between consoles and PC platforms will be reinstated in an upcoming extensive patch. The success of Lords of the Fallen is a testament to the dedication of the development team and the enthusiastic player community.
